Once You Know, You Newegg

I was just Google-Mapping a route and location in Vancouver, BC from Seattle when I noticed something that was not on the web service pages yesterday:

Google just added satellite imagery to their entire Google Maps web app! Go try it - it's pretty amazing! Below are the standard Google map, same resolution satellite imagery, and a surprisingly excellent full zoom image (with my own handwritten notations, thanks to the new Tablet PC Experience Pack).

That Keyhole acquisition is paying off.

I agree, this is awesome. I posted about it as soon as I saw it, and talked about it extensively in my podcast yesterday.

You know, it's a small world. I had no idea you were located in Hillsboro. I saw your screenshots, which looked quite familiar. I live in Beaverton, work in Hillsboro, but for two years, I attended school in the UoP building across from yours. :-)

Check out my site and podcast at www.tinyscreenfuls.com. Maybe we'll run into each other at the next Portland Nerd Dinner, or other geeky event (Podcasting Meetup, etc.)! :-)
